FAQs
How do I best clean the suede material on my ALOHAS Rife Trainers?
For routine cleaning, use a suede brush to remove loose dirt and restore the nap. For stains, a suede eraser or a dedicated suede cleaner (following its instructions) is recommended. Always pre-treat with a suede protector spray.
Are these trainers suitable for rainy weather?
Due to their suede construction, ALOHAS Rife Trainers are best suited for dry conditions. While a suede protector can offer some resistance, it's advisable to avoid heavy rain or standing water to prevent damage and discoloration.
What is the sizing like for these trainers?
These trainers are listed in UK adult female sizing. For the best fit, it's generally recommended to order your usual UK shoe size. If you are between sizes, consider consulting the brand's specific sizing chart if available.
Can I wear these trainers with formal outfits?
The ALOHAS Rife Trainers are designed with a classic, casual aesthetic. They are ideal for casual, smart-casual, or streetwear looks, but are generally not recommended for formal or business attire.
What makes the gum rubber sole unique?
The gum rubber sole is known for its natural rubber composition, providing excellent grip and durability. Its distinctive tan color also adds a classic, retro-inspired touch to the overall design of the trainers.
Where are ALOHAS Rife Trainers manufactured?
These trainers are noted as 'Portuguese-born', indicating that they are crafted in Portugal, known for its high-quality footwear manufacturing.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dull or matted.
Use a specialized suede brush to gently brush the nap of the suede in one direction. This helps lift the fibers and restore its original texture and appearance.
Minor stains or scuffs on the suede.
For light marks, gently use a suede eraser to rub the affected area. For slightly tougher spots, apply a small amount of specialized suede cleaner according to product instructions, always testing on an inconspicuous area first.
Trainers feel stiff or uncomfortable initially.
Suede is a natural material that will soften and conform to your foot with wear. Wear your trainers for shorter periods initially to gradually break them in and improve comfort.
Gum rubber sole looks dirty and difficult to clean.
Use a damp cloth with a small amount of mild soap or a dedicated sneaker sole cleaner. Gently scrub the rubber sole, then wipe clean with a fresh damp cloth. Avoid getting cleaning solutions on the suede upper.

Care Instructions for Suede
The suede material of your ALOHAS Rife Trainers requires specific care to maintain its premium look and longevity. Proper care will protect them from damage and help them last longer:
- Water Protection: Suede is highly sensitive to water. Before first wear, and periodically thereafter, apply a high-quality suede protector spray according to the product's instructions. This creates a barrier against moisture and stains.
- Regular Cleaning: Use a specialized suede brush to gently remove surface dirt, dust, and to restore the nap (the soft, fuzzy texture) of the suede. Brush in one direction.
- Spot Cleaning: For light stains, use a suede eraser to gently rub away marks. For tougher or set-in stains, use a suede cleaner solution designed specifically for the material, following the cleaner's instructions carefully. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use water, soap, or other harsh cleaning agents directly on the suede, as this can damage the material and alter its color.
- Drying: If your trainers get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and maintain their shape. Allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight.
- Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place, ideally in a shoebox or dust bag, away from direct sunlight to prevent fading and dust accumulation.
